# Reassign or accept the assigned action task

Reassign or accept the assigned action task that is listed in the My items list of the Tasks module if you are the task owner. You must review the task details listed in the Details tab, reassign the action task to another task owner, or accept the work.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_oper\_res.manager, action task owner

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Operational Resilience Workspace** > **All Operational Vulnerabilities**.

2.  In the Tasks page, select **My items** and open the action task listed in **Vulnerability action tasks**.

    The Tasks page with Vulnerability action tasks is shown in the example.

3.  Review the details of the task.

4.  To reassign the task to another task owner, select **Reassign**.

    When the action task owner reassigns the action task, it moves to the **Draft** state.

5.  To accept the work on the action task, select **Accept work** UI action.

    The Confirmation window is displayed. The action task is updated to the **Work in progress** state.

6.  Add the work notes for the task and select **Accept work** in the Confirmation window.

    The **Accept work** UI action on the action task form changes to **Take assessment** UI action.

    The subsequent step requires the task owner to perform an assessment on the action task by reviewing its assessment details. The vulnerability record is in the **Assessment** state.
